I agree with those who have suggested that you change the wheels back to the same size front and rear. The main reason I suggest it is tire rotation. The fronts are going to wear faster than the rears no matter what sizes you have on the car. If you have mismatched sizes you can't rotate them.

I rotate my tires every 5k miles to make sure that they're worn evenly all the way around.
